Student Works: StalacTile, Tessellated Manifolds | Features. Tessellated Manifolds was created by students from Washington University in St. Louis led by Marcelo Spina of P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S, Daniel Carper and Ken Tracy. The project's scope was a full-scale installation that transformed the centralized classical staircase of Givens Hall. The installation seeks to enhance and transform the spatial atmosphere of the vertical stairwell foregrounding conditions of figuration, lighting, materiality, texture, coloration, and corporeality. At first revealed through a large exterior opening, the installation accompanies the user's visual background upon entering into the building, spiraling vertically through the 2nd and 3rd floor studios, and crescendos as the ornamented foreground of the vaulted ceiling.
The studio investigated both, the abstract mathematical constructions of saddle minimal surfaces, and the rich tectonic and ornamental tradition of Arabesque and Islamic patterns, especially focused towards muqarnas and stalactite features. [GH] SuperConnect – @improved. A nifty little tool for creating connectors between pretty much any kind of planar surfaces which intersect themselves at the edges. What it basically does is to output in a ordered structure the intersecting faces (as tree branches) and their intersection line. From there on you can continue to build up your own connectors however you like. The example file contains the Grasshopper definition, Connector-Notch Script and an example Rhino file. Read below for more. The workflow is as follows: Select the faces you want to make the connectors for and input them into the Grasshopper definition.Bake on separate layers the offset faces and the connectors.Run the script provided and provide the necessary inputs in the correct order (connectors, faces and material thickness).Enjoy.
Troubleshooting: There will be errors. Faces might actually not intersect, even if they seem so. Download: 110615 SuperConnect.zip (2.21 mb) ELISA STROZYK. Shutter pattern - ahylo. Designed by ahylo studio Designer: Ioulietta Zindrou Location: Meteora | Greece Project: Intervention for a shop facade Client: Tsagkrasouli Fotini Budget: estimate 10.000 euro Year: 2008 A sliding wall that makes a filter for the facade of a shop, and controls light and shadow. It controls sunlight, and at the same time gives the possibility for visual penetrations to the products in the window during daytime.
The challenge was to give the possibility to be totally open during evening, when the store is open. The inspiration for the organic pattern came from the combination of 2 elements: The organic form of the stonewall next to the window, and the knitted patterns from the local tradition of the area The basic parameters are the way the sunlight hits the glass window surface, and the controlled visual penetration we want to have from the street to the interior of the window in order to frame the products.

Ngine: [MSc2] - PolyModes. Landmark – R. Hernández, M. Valdés & O. Véliz; Universidad de Talca. Check out this awesome bench from Chliean students at the Universidad de Talca. The bench is part of a series of similar benches placed along a path on the Pacific Ocean. The benches serve as a space for tourists and locals to interact, as well as a resting spot along the way. Check out the rest! STUDENTS: R. Hernández, M. Valdés & O. Landmark, a work by unknown architects-in-training R.
The pair were involved in all phases from design and management to the final build of work of architecture which contributes to the public, as was the criteria. Landmark traces a route through the coastal mountain range which runs along the Pacific Ocean on the west, and the Central Valley on the east, using existing ancient paths that are the only infrastructure for connectivity in this area called Drylands. 7 modules are built along the route, each of them performing as a device for orientation and resting areas for tourists.
Jose Luis Uribe Text and images via World Architecture News. Technicolor Bloom - Vienna : FreelandBuck. Can construction enhance the sensuality of digitally-designed architecture rather than compromise it? A kaleidoscopic installation built from 1400 uniquely cut, flat plywood panels, Technicolor Bloom was first installed at Sliver Gallery, Vienna and shown at the Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna and the Beijing Biennale in 2008. Technicolor Bloom uses completely standard, scaleable fabrication technology to produce doubly curved, digitally designed architectural form. It proposes a method and a set of aesthetic principles that extend the potential of topological surfaces by incorporating traditional architectural parameters (structure, aperture, material) directly into the project's geometry. The result is a spatial study of the literal and phenomenal effects of 3-dimensional pattern.

Archive » DIGITAL DESIGN & FABRICATION. Digitale ontwerp- en productiemethoden veroorzaken een steeds snellere revolutie in de wereld van de hedendaagse architectuur. Innoverende materiaaltoe-passingen en productiemethoden leiden niet enkel tot de bouwbaarheid van een vernieuwende vormentaal: ze geven ontwerpers de kans tot directe communicatie met productiefaciliteiten. De hieruit resulterende mogelijkheid tot massaproductie van opmaatgemaakte bouwcomponenten laat de realisatie toe van structuren van ongeziene complexiteit. De uitdaging is om in vier dagen een structuur op menselijke schaal te ontwerpen én te bouwen. Deze dient volledig te zijn samengesteld uit gelijkaardige, in massa te produceren, kartonnen componenten, die via een intelligent, op eenvoudige regels gebaseerd systeem aaneengeschakeld worden tot één geheel.
Locale externe factoren worden als informerende parameters ingezet om variatie in de componenten in te bouwen, waardoor de structuur zich aanpast aan de context. Materiaal sponsor: SCA Packaging.
